Letters to the editor for Friday, October 18, 2013: IV

I'm an old, semi-retired dairy farmer, sick of the government involvement in milk pricing, regulations, and politics in general.

I'm an old, semi-retired dairy farmer, sick of the government involvement in milk pricing, regulations, and politics in general.

I attended some of the hearings on Valley View and the county building disaster. At the hearing in the Goshen Senior Center on the pros and cons of the county building, I could not miss the love affair between O'Donnell and Neuhaus at the back of the room.

After the Valley View hearings and the disregard of the subpoena, we certainly need some new faces and a thorough investigation of the present administration.

This will never happen if we vote for those connected with the present "family clan". When politicians are endorsed by KJ, unions, and other special interest groups, there has to be a payback. Enough political hot air.

We need immediate action on Camp La Guardia, Valley View, the county building, the Scotchtown Bridge, KJ's manipulations, and other problems this administration has swept under the rug. Roxanne Donnery has to put on her pink gloves and fight, and people have to vote. You can't complain if you don't vote.

We need a fighter who will truly represent us as taxpayers in Orange County.

I have known Mike Paduch for over 40 years. His dedication to community service is outstanding. As a county legislator, he has worked tirelessly to improve our quality of life, lower our tax burden and support our seniors, veterans, volunteer firefighters, police and emergency service workers. he understands the meaning of being an elected official. He serves every constituent equally no matter which political party they are registered in. As a registered Republican,

I'm proud to support Michael Paduch as our Orange County legislator. Please join me in re-electing a true public servant on November 5.
